After you file
and while you did not ask, and may be this is where you were going....
when did you get married - because the status at 12/31 is what matters.
if you were married in 2020, then when you fill out your 2020 tax return, she'll be eligible for the $1200 stimulus which she wasn't eligible for when the payments were mailed out earlier this year. is that what is prompting your question?
(if she was a dependent in 2019, then she wasn't eligible for the stimulus last spring as the payments were based on the 2019 tax returns, and then 'trued up' based on 2020, which is the year that really matters)
